What Fiction are you reading this week, Jan. 3, 2021?
Starting off the year with Bleeding Hearts, by Ian Rankin writing under the pseudonym Jack Harvey. I'm really enjoying this tale of a professional assassin who's being pursued by a private detective, with some personal issues, while he, the assassin, tries to figure out and locate whoever has just put a contract out on him. This chase leads everyone to the U.S. Author Rankin had received an award that allowed him and his family to spend some time here and I love getting his take on areas I am quite familiar with. I don't want this story to end.
I just finished The Last Odyssey and wanted to say that it was a fantastic read. I laughed, I cried. That's a movie I definitely want to see. Incredible visuals. But the best part was the Author's Note to Readers at the end. It was amazing. Brilliant. Even if you don't read the book, read that Note. You won't be disappointed.
Today I will start listening to Peace Like a River a best-selling novel by Leif Enger.
So, what's your reading pleasure now? Stay safe out there, friends. Just a few more days now and hopefully all the evil bs will be shut down for a while.
= new reply since forum marked as read
Children of the Knight by Michael J. Bowler 
and The Beekeeper of New York by Summer Aqman 
That second is one that will stay with me for days, perhaps even weeks or longer. OTOH, the first became very depressing in its last third and I had to struggle to finish it. For a YA, which it purports to be, it was certainly a drag....and it's the first of a series. I won't be continuing. And yes, I do read quite a lot of YA. Some of it is really well done. (My grandson's current GF's mom writes YA, but I'm not disclosing who she is so as not to invade her privacy or mine...or the kids')
Just started one on Kindle called Slush, by someone calling him/herself Afton. It's quite odd. Don't know whether I'll finish it.
Happy new year to you and the kitties, from me and the kitties.

You might be surprised how much more us Canucks know about US-Americans than they know about us

ps: I'm a bit of a History buff - watch lots of documentaries on past wars, the invasion of North America by the Europeans, and so on . .
I ain't proud to be white - (sigh)
Keep in mind we're all in different time zones. and if you view posts without being logged in, they will show Eastern Time. So, I always post between 10 - 11 Mountain Time on Sundays, since that is the first day of the week. Others stop by throughout the day, but mostly in the afternoons. I usually leave around 3 my time because I have to go start my kitchen chores for the day. Then I come back later to catch up with anyone who has posted after I left.
